In the Lawn

With the arrival of summer, the actions you follow in regards to your lawn can be critical. Check the Scotts Annual Lawn Care Program recommended for your lawn. It is important to keep up with regular feedings to combat weeds, drought, and other summer problems like insects and lawn diseases.

Watch your lawn closely for signs of insect damage. Insects such as mole crickets, grubs, and chinch bugs can ruin a lawn.

Apply Scotts® GrubEx® Season-Long Grub Killer, between now and the end of August.

Be on the lookout for St. Augustinegrass Decline (SAD) in lawns of St. Augustinegrass. It is caused by a fungus, and there are no chemical controls for it. Consult with your local garden center if you believe your lawn is infected by SAD.

Mow your lawn at the highest setting recommended for your lawn. Doing so will help shade the grass from the hot sun, and it will encourage deep root growth as well. But don't let St. Augustinegrass get too high, because it can cause problems with mowing and will promote extra stolon growth.
